    This is so true. My car makes the strangest noises, especially considering I don’t have one.

    Jesus is like the Waldo of religion.

    His followers are always going on and on about people trying to find him.

      Oh, and finding the cure for lupus isn’t such a big deal.

      It’s never lupus.

        According to Gregory House, M.D. SOMEtimes it”s Lupus. What it NEVER is, is Sarcoidosis…

          Whatever it is, you will always need a lumbar puncture to diagnose. At least the cerebrospinal fluid never lies, unlike his patients.

    Why do I hear the sounds but my wife is oblivious? Then I have to imitate the sound. Then the sound goes away. Then it comes back so I head to the shop. Then the sound goes away. Then the service manager doesn’t hear a thing but “We’ll look into it, you still at this number?”

      That happened with me, too. The car was making bad noises squeezes but the mechanics could never seem to hear it. Eventually they found out what it was and I got it fixed shortly before it could have been catastrophic.

    A shame Jesus isn’t a mechanic, isn’t it? Keep it wheel, Adam. Love the carmic you’ve got going here. I hope it never fends.

    I’m getting tyred of these jokes. I think it’s a good indicator that we weely should put a damper on them. It’s exhaust-ing.

      I said I would leave a pun on every strip since Skin Cycle, so just drive on out if you’re going to be a tightgas.

        Oh, I love a good pun, so that’s not the problem. Unfortunately, these have just seemed… forced. Perhaps the goal of leaving one every day was a bit too ambitious?

          Exactly. If I commit to this, I can develop more skill in puns, and less will be forced.

            Or you could just do what I’m doing, and not care how awful the puns are.

      No need to put the brakes on our fun, but these puns do have a way of spinning out of control.

    Ah, but in the Bug Universe, both Satan and God run a body shop, and Jesus is a mechanic…

    Your Jesus/Satan fix my car strips were the first ones I ever saw. Instant fan. I hadn’t laughed so hard since the “Mythbuster top 20 special” aired.

    And I don’t even *have* a car

    What was that thing that popped out of the car in panel one? I’m guessing it’s the engine; I’m not really too knowledgable about cars.

      That’s a piston, I think. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston 🙂

      That’s supposed to be the piston and connecting rod flying upwards out of the engine through the hood, indicating a massive failure of the connecting rod (or crankshaft)…. in reality, it’s rather unlikely in a typical automotive engine, as the piston would also have to go through the intake manifold- but that can easily happen in a radial engine where the cylinder heads are much thinner finned aluminum castings.

      Nope, there was one earlier called “Thunderbolt and Lightning, very very debilitating”, which is longer in both letters and syllables.

    Most people treat Jesus like a spare tire anyway. Only look for him when there is an emergency and the wheels fall off your car/life.

      True, and I finally realized why I’m an atheist – I drive a motorcycle. I’m absolutely positively sure I don’t *have* a spare.

        Heck, Rat, I learned to do my most creative praying and cussin’ while riding thru traffic on my bike back when cars were the size of a ’69 Chevy. Prayin’ and cussin’ but not at the same time.

    I don’t know why, but I feel in the last panel Adam should’ve made “wish” sorta, slanted, if ya know what I’m talking about/
